Buzzing in headphones with XtremeGamer

&? I've gone through the FAQs and such and all of my settings are good. I get a buzzing noise in my headphones when I game using my front panel connectors. Originally I thought it was because of grounding issues on my case, but I've changed cases, motherboard, video card, and RAm yet the issue still exists.
When I minimize the game, the noise goes away (EQ2). I am asusming it is bus noise? The card is installed about in between my PSU and my video card so it's about as far away from everything as it can get. Anyone know how to fix the issue?
Specs:
Case:? Antec 900
Mobo:? Asus M4A79T Deluxe
CPU:? AMD Phenom II 955
RAM 4Gb G.Skill
Video:? BFG 260 GTX
Sound:? Creative XtremeGamer (PCI)
OS:? Windows 7 x64
These are my current specs but I've had the issue with other configurations (Motherboard, CPU, and OS)?as well. The buzzing noise has been an issue for the 2 years I've had the card.

I have a similar issue when viewing videos. I have a buzzing / clicking sound in the right headphone..
Its got to the point where I can no longer watch videos..

IPad + Headphones with Remote

I bought a pair of headphones with remote on amazon, apple original, new.
I think they are the 3rd gen headphones.
I can't get the remote to work, I don't know if it incompatible but the apple site doesn't specify as far as I can find.
Any help or info is appreciated.
Thanks

3rd Gen Headphones with Remote + iPad

I bought a pair of the apple headphones with remote online. I think they are the 3rd gen version.
I can't get the remote to work with my iPad
Anyone know if these are incompatible for some reason?

Since other users are having a problem I would say there is either a problem with the iOS or that the headphones are not fully compatible with the iOS. I now of nothing you can really do.

Can you get the plan headphones with a remote(like you do when you first buy a smaller gb ipod)? if so how much do they rage and where can you order then?

i've been having a hard time just finding a good/not over 30$ headphones that will go with cause the the headphones i
got are dead and not working no longer and you know parents or anyone these's days that are not willing to go
buy something that isnt rescearched yet! and i even want a good pair but not have to spend 70$ on them and to
know they might stop working in the next month/year or two!!

That's a 3rd gen iPod shuffle, so do not get the new Apple EarPod headphones. Based on posts I've read here, they do not work with the 3rd gen shuffle.
You can still find the old version of the Apple headphones with remote, at online stores like Amazon. They are like the one that came with your shuffle, except they usually have a microphone on the remote nub.
Alternately, you can use something like this adapter with remote controls

and connect ANY headphones.

I lost one of the earbuds for my Apple In-ear Headphones with Mic. Now what do It do?

I lost one of the earbuds for my Apple In-ear Headphones with Mic.
In case you don't see why this could be a big deal, let me remind you that these little earphones will run you $79 new. Naturally, I'm sure there's got to be a reasonable solution that another owner of these headphones may know of or can share with me.
Should I bring it to the Apple store or will they just laugh at me?
Basically, all I'm missing is the jelly-like in-ear bud on one side (which is easily replaceable; I just need to know where I can order GENUINE extras from).
Click here to see the Apple In-ear Headphones I'm referring to.

I've tried several and the best by far is the Sennheiser MM50 iP ($99 at the apple store). The sound is incredible, particularly the low frequecy response (bass). These are even better than the Bose Triports I used for my iPod, plus they have the mic and button for recieving calls and ipod playback. I also have the airdrives, which don't even compare for sound quality and range because they aren't in-ear (they sit directly in front of the ear canal). I still use the airdrives in situations where I want music distraction but still want to hear what's happening around me, but for in-ear sound quality and iPhone functionality I don't think you're going to find better for the Sennheisers for under $100. In fact I don't think their is anything under $250 right now that would match it for performance, comfort and functionality.
Note: these are asymmetrical which means the cord for the right earbud goes behind your neck to the right ear. I found this strange at first but now I actually like it because it allows you to pull the earlplugs out and just let them rest over your neck/shoulders.

How does the Apple Headphones with Remote Replacement Program non-return fee work?

I have a pair of Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic that I purchased a year ago. According to the "Apple Headphones with Remote Replacement Program", http://www.apple.com/support/headphones/replacementprogram/, these headphones are also covered in the program. Currently, there are some issues with my headphone's remote, as it is extremely unresponsive. I don't know how Apple determines the headphone's purchase date, but their online service request page accepts my iPhone's serial number. Is there any way that i could ensure that Apple's willing to replace the headphones for free (E.g. mailing my current ones in first) because the non-return fee is basically its retail price. I do not live in the US so I can't go and exchange at an Apple Retail Store. Thanks in advance.

I would just bring them into your local Apple Store/Genius Bar and ask.

Distorted sound using headphones with my iPhone 4

Hello,
I have a strange and very annoing problem that I am currently experiencing with my iPhone 4.
Basically I have a problem where when I insert my Headphones (The Genuine Apple Headphones with Mic) into the iPhone 4, every now and then I hear popping sounds and this also happens when I unplug the Headphones from the phone too. The major problem with this is that when I listen to music the Bass effects seem very distorted, to the point of which you have to turn the music up so loud to fix the problem that it deafens you. If you turn the music down low then all you can hear is a very deep bass kind of sound.
This problem doesnt just happen with music, its with whatever sound I play (whether from a video on YouTube, or saved on my phone, to Music on my iPhone and sounds on the iPhone itself.).
I cant tell if the iPhone speakers themselves are distorted however I dont think they are, I have listened to music through the speakers on the phone and they seem to be all OK, although I havent done any proper testing, this problem only occurs with using Headphones.
I have tried a restore in iTunes and this has not helped. The iPhone is running the latest and greatest system from Apple, in my case as I am writing this it is iOS 5.1.1.
The iPhone has had a service just recently as the iPhone's home button was not working, but it was fine after that. I have not dropped the phone either.
Could you please help me?
Thanks!

Could you clean the connector with cotton swab?I fear there is debris in the connector.
If it is the same,I think it should be open for major repair.

TS2634 My iphone headphones with microphone don't work. Any suggestions?

My iphone headphones with microphone have stopped working, and they are under warranty. I am having difficulty getting an answer about what to do from Apple - just got off the phone with them, and they emailed me an article that was of no help at all. Any suggestions as to how I can resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

All, I have this same problem and has just solved it on my iPhone.
I read up on the problem at att.com/esupport and arrived at the link below:
https://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB413495#fbid=ahhj00ALH45
"If your email address is linked to your AT&T Access ID, changing your AT&T Access ID password automatically changes your email password to the same password.
If you use your email address as your AT&T Access ID, changing your email password automatically changes your AT&T Access ID password to the same password."
I have a ATT Uverse (for my internet access) acct and could not log on so I requested for password reset. They sent me temp password and I had to change my password to my Uverse acct. I use my att.net email as the log on for my Uverse acct. Per att instructions above, my Uverse acct is linked to my att.net email, so now my att.net email pw has been changed to the pw for my Uverse acct.
Accordingly, go into your iPhone Settings, Mail, Contacts, Calendars, choose your Att.net mail acct and change your password. In my case I changed it to the new pw I had set up for my Uverse acct and it works.
Before doing this, I had also added new servers as shown below. The way I see it because your iPhone will try in succession to log on to each server from top to bottom of the list, it's best to add all the mail servers.
smtp.mail.yahoo.com
smtp.mail.att.net
outbound.att.net
Please note that I did not have to add "imap.mail.att.net" and my Att.net mail on my iPhone still works.
Hope this helps.

Bluetooth headphone with MIC

I'm considering to purchase a Bluetooth headphone with MIC for my iPad mini. If I connect, will the headphone MIC take over the iPad's builtin microphone?

Shardsofmetal wrote:
However, it sounds like you're saying that the headphones will work but the microphone won't, right? Thanks
mainly true and most likely yeah! The sound will come through the headsets but the microphone will not be able to function at all.... The bluetooth on the iPod touch is very limited to what function it can perform, like Meg St. Clair mentioned is for stereo Headphone; wireless speakers and games. Things like headsets or anything(like microphones)that might be used as with Bluetooth is not supported. The only way you can get a microphone to work is if it's plugged in on the headphone Jack at the bottom of the iPod touch. Sorry that you had to hear that, you were probably hoping that you could use the Bluetooth with that microphone.....

Frequency response requirements for headphones with CMSS on XFi ???

Hi,
I would like to know if someone could tell me what kind of heaphones are suitable for the CMSS mode with the XFi.
I mean between : flat response/free-field correction/diffuse-field correction.
Applying HRTF filtering should mean that headphones with flat response is the best option ( same configuration as binaural recordings).
But I have a big doubt that Creative team expects costumers to possess such a pair of headphones, as it is rather for scientific uses (psychoacoustics, audiology etc...).
So, if we look at the technical solutions for wide audience we have two options (FF correction and DF correction). Here is a trick because these corrections intend to reproduce some of the effects from HRTF (for two different environment configuration of HRTF measurements). It is why the frequency response of most of the headphones have a notch between 4Hz and 0 kHz.
To simplify, if we listen binaural sounds with classical headphones the effect of outer pinna is reproduced twice.
So I guess Creative have implemented a kind of normalization/equalization/correction process to deal with the non-flat frequency response of headphones, but do someone know if they have chosen diffuse field or free field correction ?
This post might seem a detail but the issue can be very important for the accurate localisation and the coloration? of 3D sounds with headphones.
Thank you, and please forgive my english!

The only possibility that I can think of is that 2/2. mode is NOT as simple as headphone mode with crosstalk cancelation. Perhaps the HRTF only kicks in for sound sources outside of the arc directly in front of the listener. If that were the case, you wouldn't percei've any distortion for sound sources in front of you.
Also, you are wrong regarding DirectSound3D. Keep in mind that Direct3D and DirectSound3D are not the same. The whole point of OpenAL and DirectSound3D is that they present an API to the programmer through which there is NO specification of the number of speakers. When using OpenAL or DirectSound3D, the only thing a programmer can do is specify the location of a mono sound source in 3D space relati've to the listener. The speaker settings for your DirectSound3D or OpenAL device will then determine how this sound is "rendered" by the soundcard. It is not under control of the game. For example, if you have 5. speakers and the 3D position is behind you, the SOUND CARD will make the decision to use the rear speakers. If you use headphones, the SOUND CARD will decide to apply an HRTF to create the illusion of a rear sound source. The point is that the game does not have control over how many speakers you will get sound from.
However, to further complicate the situation, there are SOME games (HL2 is an example) where DirectSound3D is used, BUT the sound output of the game itself IS a function of the Windows speaker settings. This is not how programmers are SUPPOSED to use DirectSound3D. I've written about this countless times. There is a good post on [H]ard|Forum about this. Do an "advanced" search with my username (thomase) looking for the terms "hl2" and "cmss".

How can I use the microphone on the iPhone 5 headphones with my ASUS Laptop?

ASUS Vivobook X202E
Windows 8
Headphone jack is both headphone and microphone jack
How can I manage to use the microphone on my Apple iPhone 5 headphones with my ASUS laptop?
When I plug in the headphones, only the headphones work, the microphone does nothing.
Anyone find a solution.
Thank you in advance for any and all help.

I doubt that the Apple headset is compatible with your laptop. Apple devices have an extra "ring" in the plug and jack for connecting the control buttons. Your laptop does not recognize the extra contact.

I can´t pair my Brookstone headphones with my Ipad 3

I can´t pair my Brookstone headphones with my Ipad 3, the Ipad simply doesn´t detect the device. I was using these headphones with my old Ipad 2. The device Manual of Instructions says it works with all Ipads. Any suggestions to solve the problem?

Is your old iPad still in the house? If it is, I believe you need to have your old device forget the headphones before you can pair with your new iPad.

Ipod touch 4g - sound comes out one earphone loud and the other softly. I've tried other headphones with same result. is there a fix for this ?

Ipod touch 4g - sound comes out one earphone loud and the other softly. I've tried other headphones with same result. is there a fix for this ?

Clean out/blow out the headphone jack. Insert/remove the heaphone plug a dozen times or so
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>GeneralReset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a bad headphone jack
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours
Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

HI @Rajatsharma_yam ,
Thank you for your inquiry, I will do my best to assist you.
I grasp that when you connect your combo headphones and mic the mic portion is not working.
Have you done all your Windows updates?
Have you ran the HP Support Assistant to ensure you have the latest HP drivers installed.
If you look at the physical connector how may bands do you see on it? You should have 3 or 4 bands.
Are you sure they are connected all the way into the headset and the port on the notebook.
When you have the combo headset connected go to control panel/sound and open the Window.
Click on the recording tab, is the mic listed? You should be able to select and configure from this Window.
Here is a link to Resolving headphones and headset problems (Windows 8) that may also be of aid.
Good Luck!
